Thank you Paul. Now I have to investigate possibilities of LinFBB to use 
the same \fwd\ 'include' files I started to test in WinFBB 7.01-35 when 
under Windows (It is a dual-boot machine and until the other day I used 
only WinFBB series 7.00 which required PortMapper or another external 
software to handle DNS lookup.)

It was not a problem with WinFBB 7.00 series to share its config files 
with LinFBB because they are positioned in the old-fashioned FBB tree 
under Windows, so I was able to make necessary changes in fbb.conf, but 
in 7.01-35 those files are partly in Windows registry and in \Program 
Files\ location, which should be protected by the OS.

Until now, I managed to activate DNS lookup in WinFBB 7.01-35 and it 
seems to follow exactly the same principle you described in your example:

Now I am going to see if LinFBB can find and read the same config files 
on Windows HD partition.
